BARBECUEING sTovE v Filed May 6, 1933 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented May 14, 1935 PATENT OFFICE UNITED" STATES 2 Claims.
` This invention relatesto cooking apparatus and has relationy more `particularly to that type of e, apparatus especially designed and adapted for `-use with: what is generally known as barbecue 1515 cooking, andvit is an object of the invention to provide a practical `machine ofthis kind provided with means Awhereby an effective advertising display is obtained during the cooking of the meat and at other times; l
1 It isa lfact wellrecognized in the trade that the display value of a barbecuing apparatus is of equal value with the cooking efficiency of the apparatus. Inapparatus for barbecuing meats used in display stands as made to-day, the display value `of the apparatus has to be sacrificed during the time whenthe meat is being actually cooked; One of the objects of the present invention therefore is to provide a cooking appa- -ratus for the"l barbecuing of meats or the like wherein alcookingcr heating unit is disposed in front of the meat to be cooked, but is of such a character as not to' obscure the meat `in any y way and to provide a reiiector positioned rearwardly of the meat and approximately concenjtric thereto, there `being lan illuminatingunit disposed betweenthe meat and the reflector, en- [tirelyeobscuredl by" the meat,lwhich will simulate ya glowing fire' either while the meat lis being ac- I ,tually cooked orfwhenthe meat has been removed `fr omffthe spit andadummypiece of meat susjpended therefrom.`

l Figure 2 is'watransv'erse Vertical sectional view takenl throughjthestructure as illustrated in Figure l1 with certain of the parts in elevation;
Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrows;
Figure 4 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrows.
As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, I denotes a counter or other desired support upon which my improved stove or apparatus is mounted. As herein set forth my improved barbecue cooker includes a casing comprising a back wall 2, side walls 3 and a top wall Il. The walls, 2, 3 and 4 provide a chamber C over the outer face of which is positioned a front wall 5 having its lower portion cut out, as at 6, to provide an opening extending a major distance across the front wall 5 andvof a desired type. The upper portion of the chamber C is intersected by a horizontally disposed partition or shelf 'I and as particularly villustrated in Figure 2 this partition or shelf 'I is arranged adjacent to the upper edge of the cut out portion or opening t.
This shelf 'I provides a support for a motor M, preferably an electric motor, and which has `its drive shaft 8 extending beyond opposite sides thereof. One end portion of this shaft 8 is in driving connection through a belt 9 with a shaft i rotatably supported by the,` front wall 5 and extending a desired distance outwardlytherefrom. This shaft Ill is in driving connection through the belts II with the additional shafts It also supported by the front wall and eX- tending outwardly therefrom. 'Ihese shafts I Il and Ill are also preferably in substantially horizontal alignment.
Each ofthese shafts IIJ and I0' is directed through an outstanding bearing sleeve I2 and supported by the outer portion of said sleeve I2 is a .housing I4 of desired dimensions and design;
Y This housing I4 serves after the'fashion ofa Ybracket and `the bottom wall It thereof v pro- Vides a mounting for a depending hook member `I5 adapted to be rotated at a desired speed 'through the intermeshing gear i6 and pinion I1. The gear `I t and pinion I'I are within the housing III",` with the gear i6 fixed to the upper end portion of the hook member I 5 and the pinion I1 fixed to the shaft It or lil'. The speed of the motor lVf together with the ratio of the gear IB to the pinion I'l are such as to cause the hooks I5 to rotate at a relatively low speed. Each of the hooks I5 is adapted to have suspended `therefrom a skewer l 3 after the same has `been passed through thecentral part of a ham -or other piece fof meat. The lower portion of the skewer I8 after being inserted through the meat has keyed thereon. a holding sleeve I9 to prevent the meat from dropping from the skewer.
The front wall 5 below the cut out portion or opening 6 is provided lwith a forwardly disposed drip pan of desired dimensions and which receives the drippings from the meat during a cooking operation. Extending within the pan 2l) and terminating closely adjacent to the bottom thereof is a pipe line 2 I`. upwardly and into the upper part of the chamber C, as at 22, through the front wall5 and is in communication with a pump P herein indicated as of a rotary type. This pump P is in driven connection through a belt 23 with the inner end portion of the shaft 8 of the motor M.
Leading from the pump P is a discharge pipe 24 which extends outwardly through the front This pipe line extends Wall 5 to a suitable point in advance thereof where it is continued by a depending portion 24 discharging within a horizontally disposed manifold 25. This manifold 25 is preferably of a diameter considerably in excess of the diameter of the bore of the discharge pipe 24 and serves to hold a supply of drippings as pumped from the pan 2i) and which drippings are adapted to be used for basting the meat upon the skewers I3 during the cooking operation.
Depending fromy the manifold 25 at desired points therealong are delivery pipes 2B having their lower end portions provided with the valved nozzles 2 discharging inwardly upon` the meat being cooked. As particularly illustrated in Figure l, there are two delivery lines 25 associated with each hook I5 to assure effective basting of the meat suspended from the hook although of course I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to this particular number.
The outer vertical wall 2li of the pan 2E! has secured thereto by the holding brackets 28 or otherwise as may be preferred, the vertically disposed and straight manifolds 23 each in desired communication through a pipe line 3G with a source of gas supply 3| herein disclosed as a pipe adapted for suitable connection with the service gas main. A single manifold 29 is positioned in advance of but, as herein disclosed, below each of the hooks I5 with its upper end terminating in a horizontal plane closely adjacent to the horizontal plane of the lower end of the hook I5.
The manifold 29 has a series of burners 32 spaced lengthwise of the manifold 29 and disposed rearwardly thereof and discharging more particularly toward the meat or the like suspended from the hook member I5.
The cut out portion or opening 6 of the front wall 5 is closed by a reilector plate R. This plate is formed with vertically disposed corrugations 33 and is also formed to provide a series of substantially semi-circular reflectors 34 each of which being positioned rearwardly of and extending a relative distance beyond opposite sides of a hook member I5. These reflectors 34 assure an effective and attractive display during the periods the burners 32 are in use. However, it is highly important that the display value of the stove or machine be maintained during those periods when meats are not being cooked. For this purpose there is disposed centrally of each of the reneetors 34 a vertically disposed illuminating unit 35, preferably of a vapor type, and which unit 35 is of a character to give forth a red glow so that when the units 35 are in use the stove or apparatus will simulate a burning fireplace. During this time the cooked meats are preferably removed and in the place thereof skewers are suspended from the hook members I5 carrying dummy meats. It is to be particularly noted that the burner pipe 29 extends upwardly in front of the meat being cooked and discharges the gas flames toward the meat being cooked. The gas flames give very little glow such as is ordinarily associated with the use of live coals in barbecuing and the reflector R may be used with the illuminating unit 35 while the meat is being cooked as well as during the periods when the meat is not being cooked. The red glow from the illuminating unit 35 will be reflected outward toward the passerby and thus give an effect as if the meat were roasting before a bed of coals, tho as a matter of fact the meat is roasting by reason of the gas burners 32, and it will also be seen that the same effect is secured when a dummy piece of meat or other article is supported upon the hook I5 and is being rotated. This is important from the point of view of display and advertising, because it looks as though the barbecuing were constantly proceeding and the display is particularly effective at night where meat is actually being cooked by being rotated in front of the burners 32. The glow from the tube 35 is reected forward on to the meat and brings out the color of the meat very strongly as Well as giving the effect of a glowing fire so that the display is particularly enhanced.
I claim:-
l. In a Visible cooking apparatus, means for suspending and rotating an article as if for cooking, a concavely curved reflector extending approximately the full length of the space occupied by the article, the reflector being approximately concentric to the axis of rotation of the article, and an illuminating' means giving off a glow simulating the glow of hot coals and disposed between the supported object and the reflector and hidden by the object when the latter is so suspended. e
2. In apparatus of the character described, means for suspending and simultaneously rotating an article as if for roasting, a concavely curved reflector extending vertically approximately the full length of the space occupied by the article when so suspended, said reflector being approximately concentric to the vertical axis of the article, illuminating means giving off a glow simulating the glow of hot coals and disposed in advance of the reflector and between the reliector and the space occupied by the artcle, the illuminating means extending vertically approximately the full height of the reflector.
